The objective of the festival is to promote an understanding and appreciation of the art and philosophy of Buddhism together with the interaction of audiences with scholars and filmmakers.
Addressing a press meet here, Dr Goel, Ms Vasudev and Mr Jindal stressed that Buddhism was not a religion but a way of thought and an exploration of the mind.
Ms Vasudev said this was the first event on Buddhism after the International Buddhist Conclave held last year in November.

They include director Yoon Yong-jin of ‘Hal’, Srilankan film star Thumindu Dodantenna of ‘Sankara’, ‘Amongst the Clouds’ by Edward A. Burger; the documentary ‘Peace is every step’ by Gaetano Kazuo Maida, and renowned director Hector Kumarasiri whose film ‘Abinikmana’ will have its world premiere here. She added that ‘Trishagini’ by Nabendu Ghosh which was screened in 1995 will also be shown, apart from ten films by Benoy K Behl, and Im Kwon-Taek’s ‘Come Come Come Upwards’.
Dr Goel said Buddhism – a gift to the world from India - appeared to have come back with a vengeance in the past few years as people had begun to realize that it was not a religion but a way of thought.
